Wants to conceive the jewels of his eyes,
And with the heat of his burning thighs
Fills Juno's moist womb with his thrusts:
Now, when the sea, or when violent gusts
Of wind grant way to great ships of war,
And when the nightingale, in forest far,
Renews her grievance against Tereus:
Now, when the meadows and when the flowers
With

Paint the breast of the earth so bright all round,
Alone and thoughtful among the secret cliffs,
With a silent heart I tell over my regrets,
And through the woods I go, hiding my wound.

In solemn places high,
Where the tall pines bend like rushes
When the storm goes sweeping by;
Yet give the strength of foot they learned
By perilous path and flood,
And from their blue-eyed mothers won,
The old, mysterious blood;
The daring that the good south wind
Into their

And the proud swelling of the heart
With each pure breath they drew;

Without new tears, did softly say,
And looked up unto heaven alway
While he praised the Earth--
"O Earth,
I count the praises thou art worth,
By thy waves that move aloud,
By thy hills against the cloud,
By thy valleys warm and green,
By the copses' elms between,
By their birds which, like a sprite
Scattered
by a strong delight
Into fragments musical,
Stir and sing in every bush;
By thy silver founts that fall,
As if to entice the stars at night
To thine heart; by grass and rush,
And little weeds the children pull,
Mistook for flowers!

As the sown field its fresh greenness shows,
From that greenness the green shoot is born,
From the shoot there flowers an ear of corn,
From the ear, yellow grain, sun-ripened glows:
And as, in due season, the farmer mows
The waving locks, from the gold furrow shorn
Lays them in lines, and to the light of dawn
On the bare field, a thousand sheaves he shows:
So the Roman Empire grew by degrees,
Till barbarous power brought it to its knees,
Leaving only these ancient ruins behind,
That all and sundry pillage: as those who glean,
Following step by step, the
leavings
find,
That after the farmer's passage may be seen.

That, however, was nothing compared with the calamity
of the oranges falling down on their heads by
millions
and millions, which
thumped and bumped and bumped and thumped them all so seriously, that they
were obliged to run as hard as they could for their lives; besides that the
sound of the oranges rattling on the tea-kettle was of the most fearful and
amazing nature.

Sarojini Naidu - Golden Threshold |

Estimating the size of the creature by comparison with the diameter of
the large trees near which it passed--the few giants of the forest which
had escaped the fury of the land-slide--I
concluded
it to be far larger
than any ship of the line in existence.

For
instance, the amiable circle I so lately mixed with in the hospitable
hall of Dunlop, their generous hearts--their uncontaminated dignified
minds--their
informed
and polished understandings--what a contrast,
when compared--if such comparing were not downright sacrilege--with
the soul of the miscreant who can deliberately plot the destruction of
an honest man that never offended him, and with a grin of satisfaction
see the unfortunate being, his faithful wife, and prattling innocents,
turned over to beggary and ruin!

Li Po |

Lesbos, terre des nuits chaudes et langoureuses,
Qui font qu'a leurs miroirs, sterile volupte,
Les filles aux yeux creux, de leurs corps amoureuses,
Caressent les fruits murs de leur nubilite,
Lesbos, terre des nuits chaudes et langoureuses,
Laisse du vieux Platon se froncer l'oeil austere;
Tu tires ton pardon de l'exces des baisers,
Reine du doux empire, aimable et noble terre,
Et des
raffinements
toujours inepuises.

For tender recollections,

For guileless griefs, which no compunction stains,
We blush; as if we wore these earthly chains
Only for sport and song!
